Venezuela’s permanent representative to the United Nations (UN), Samuel Moncada, said that the website created by the far right to supposedly verify the minutes of the presidential elections on July 28 was a political and psychological operation with which they intended to evade their defeat.
“There are digital forensic investigation laboratories that were created in the United States and Canada with parallel journalists for the ‘free flow of information’, that is, to say what the American government wants,” he said during an interview on the program A Pulso, broadcast by Venezolana de Televisión (VTV).
He also commented that the “cyber coup” against the national government is not a movie, but rather, in his opinion, the administration of the President of the United States (US), Joe Biden, is carrying out “an influence operation” in Venezuela.
Moncada recalled that the US Agency for International Development (USAID) has attempted to destabilize the government of President Nicolás Maduro.
The diplomat He stressed that the US government’s propaganda apparatus manipulates the media and social networks in order to design a narrative to try to discredit the Bolivarian Revolution. “It is a narrative, a virtual and magical reality,” he said.
He also explained that the Venezuelan far right, with the support of the United States, is planning and financing the “destabilizing move” against the country, stating that “they want, with four madmen from Michigan, to try to decide the destiny of Venezuela.”
“The law must be applied here, and this must be stopped, as the Liberator Simón Bolívar said,” he emphasized.
